Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. (I put my roasting pan in the oven at this point with 1/4 cup of the Coconut Oil to let the oil melt down while I peel and slice the butternut squash.

I love this picture because it looks like a big pile of cheddar cheese 🙂 … I went one step further and sliced the long pieces in thirds again (lengthwise).

Carefully remove your hot roasting pan from the oven and toss the butternut squash slices in the now-melted coconut oil. Sprinkle with sea salt, and it goes back into the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, turn the squash and cook for 5 more minutes (until the squash is cooked through and tasty).

Remove the squash from the oven and use a slotted spoon to get it out of your roasting pan.

Turn the heat up in your oven to 500 degrees and if you are using a pizza stone, put it in the oven to heat up.

Oh … and watch out for squash thieves …

I put my roasting pan right on top of the stove for the next bit, over a burner on low. Add an additional heaping tablespoon of coconut oil and the chopped garlic and let the oil get all bubbly, the garlic translucent and soft (about 2 minutes). The reason that I use the roasting pan (as you can see) is because some little leftover bits of squash work their way into the oil and it just makes it all goodness.

When your oven hits 500, remove the pizza stone, sprinkle it with corn meal and roll out the pizza dough.

Add the coconut oil-garlic mixture like you would tomato sauce. Then the squash. And the cheese.

Pop it in the oven for 12 minutes. Check to make sure the bottom is cooked. Add a few minutes if it’s not. For us, the perfect pizza usually comes out in 15 minutes.
